Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: GUARDING
HAR 12-60-2(a)(3) was violated because: The employer did not have effective work practices that eliminated exposure to employees from wide-belt sander kickback hazards. One employee was fatally injured from a wood beam that was kicked back from a CEMCO wide-belt sander that was being used for sanding operations. 12-60-2(a)(3) states "Every employer shall provide safe work places and practices by elimination or reduction of existing or potential hazards. Elimination of existing or potential hazards by design, process substitution, or other appropriate methods is preferred because it eliminates the need for further employee protection. When elimination is not feasible, reduction of existing or potential hazards to acceptable levels, using methods such as engineering or administrative controls, isolation, or guarding, shall be promptly used. When these methods are inadequate to reach acceptable levels, personal protective equipment shall be provided and used." Abatement Note: Abatement documentation, such as written, videographic or photographic evidence of abatement is required. Location: Establishment
